Thread: Cutlers Green? Or whatever you guys SAY it is!

It was I who put one such stone for sale a long time ago, still posses it and still get ok shaves from it. The clock maker was a friend of my dads (he also made jewelry and cut gems and stuff, he had one of the most impressive hone and polishing stone collections I have ever seen even by HAD people) He said he got them from a town in the UK where they were literally everywhere, since they used them to pave some houses gardens and stuff.

He used the cutlers green to polish really small tools used to screw and arrange really tiny clock work stuff. This guy was no amateur too BTW, he once told me that the work he did was harder to do than brain surgery since a lot of the complex mechanisms needed to be virtually friction free so really high polishing stones were treasured. I will see if I can find a pic of the stone, its about 6x2.5 and looks brick like. Nothing like the one posted here and it is minty green with whitish streaks, seems to be kinda like a mix between beryl and chalk or something, its pretty psychadelic if you ask me. Will try to get some good picks of it to post.
